  • American Gangster
    www.kirkeogfilm.dk American gangster Gangstermiljøet og et helt samfund i Vietnamkrigens lys Af Jes Nysten Filmen henter sit stof fra en autentisk historie, som udspilledes i slutningen af 60’ernes New York. Vi er i Vietnamkrigens og hippietidens USA. Hvor negrenes kamp for ligestilling var i fuld gang, og hvor Harlem stadig var totalt ’sort’ område. Frank Lucas har med alle midler – og jeg mener alle midler – gjort sig til ’godfather’ for et stort område i Harlem. Derudover har han egenhændig etableret sig som importør af ren heroin fra Vietnam, som han sælger og på den måde samler sig en enorm formue, som bl.a. bruges på generøse gaver til hans ’undersåtter’ i Harlems gader. Men han samler også sin familie omkring sig, for det er netop det, der gælder: social status og ubrydeligt familiesammenhold, uanset hvordan man opnår denne formue og status. Frank bryder således med de gængse spilleregler og kommer på den måde til at skulle krydse klinger med folk, der normalt sidder sikkert på narkomarkedet: de etablerede mafiafamilier og byens korrupte politifolk. Men den afgørende kamp for Frank kommer til at stå med den lidt forhutlede men bundhæderlige politimand Richie Roberts. -1- www.kirkeogfilm.dk På klassisk vis løber filmen i to spor, nemnlig disse to mænds i begyndelsen separate historier, som langsomt nærmer sig hinanden; og som først til allersidst løber sammen i den klassiske konfrontation: helten overfor skurken! Et møde som imidlertid får et temmelig ukonventionel efterspil, som ikke skal røbes her. Som nævnt bruges gangstergenren som et stærkt stiliseret billede på de gængse spilleregler i samfundet - sådan også her.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Better Mus' Come
    BETTER MUS’ COME PUBLICITY CONTACTS Tilane Jones [email protected] 818.995.0050 Rating: NR TRT: 104 minutes CREDITS Written & Directed by Storm Producer Paul Bucknor Executive Produced by Joshua Bratter Samantha Bratter Paul Bucknor Director of Photography Storm Editors Storm Paul Bucknor Cast Sheldon Shepherd - Ricky Nicole Grey - Kemala Ricardo Orgill - Flames Everaldo Creary - Short Man Roger Guenveur Smith - Prime Minister SYNOPSIS Better Mus’ Come is a coming of age drama set in Jamaica’s turbulent 1970s, against the backdrop of the Cold War, a national water crisis, an energy crisis, corruption, and numerous murder scandals that gave birth to the polarized violence gripping the streets of Kingston both then and now. After months of incarceration as a suspected political agitator, Ricky is released. Haunted by the tragic death of his devoted young wife and paralyzed by conflicting feelings of guilt and loyalty to his political tribe, he tries to navigate his way through the minefields created by the constant social upheaval that seems to be ubiquitous in his community, while providing a better life for his 5- year old son. At his home coming party Ricky meets Kemala, a book smart country girl, who lives in the opposing neighborhood, enemy territory. In many ways they are opposites, but what starts as antagonism quickly turns into burning passion. Kemala encourages Ricky to convince his old friends in the community to adopt a more passive approach. To defy the status quo of confrontation, this leads to the inevitable cycle of violence. The big question is, can Ricky and his crew beat the odds and ensure that Better Mus’ Come? Director’s Statement I’ve always been a bit of a cold war junkie, and there was a point in my life where I would watch, read, and research everything I could on geopolitics and espionage in the 20th century.

Kicking off with a performance of Smith’s acclaimed solo show, Frederick Douglass Now, presented in partnership with the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association on Saturday, August 21 at 7:00pm ET, the one-night-only event takes place at Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs, a National Historic Landmark on Martha’s Vineyard.

  • Film As Representations of American Democracy and Oppression in the Long 20Th Century
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2015 Volume II: American Culture in the Long 20th Century Film as Representations of American Democracy and Oppression in the Long 20th Century Curriculum Unit 15.02.09 by Matthew S. Monahan “I believe that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks” (Thomas Edison, 1922). Section One: Introduction 1.1 Statement of Context Metropolitan Business Academy, an interdistrict magnet high school, has a history with the Regional Educational Support Center, the Center for 21st Century Skills. Although I do not teach courses that culminate with the Student Innovation Expo, I have developed and teach an introductory film course. Introduction to Film is an elective that is open only to juniors and seniors. I also teach senior level English. It is my aim that students who complete this unit through either of my courses, although my primary purpose and method of delivery will be Introduction to Film, will have a deeper understanding of American democracy and the struggles that different groups have endured in their attempts to attain power and voice in the face of oppression throughout the “long 20 th century,” a term I shall attribute to Yale Professor Matthew Frye Jacobson to mean the late 1800s to present. Students will critically assess three major movements in which “Americans” have both struggled against and acted as forces of oppression: the early labor movement beginning roughly in the 1920s, the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, and present day post-9/11 post-Katrina America.

  • Actor Roger Guenveur Smith Honored by Board of Supervisors
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 12, 2011 Contact: Lisa Richardson, 213-361-6980 Email: [email protected] or Contact: Sharita Moon, 213-974-2222 Email: [email protected] Actor Roger Guenveur Smith Honored By Board of Supervisors Actor and Leimert Park native Roger Guenveur Smith was honored by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, May 10 for his dramatic work that is often informed by his roots in African American Los Angeles. Smith, who is also a writer and director, is performing in a new show opening May 19 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. “Juan and John,” which Smith authored, tells the story of a brutal incident at a Giants-Dodgers game. This one, however, occurred in 1965. "Juan and John" tells the story of the game in which Giants pitcher Juan Marichal, in a fit of anger, clubbed Dodgers catcher John Roseboro on the head with his bat, opening a big bloody gash in his head. The show touches on themes of violence and race, as well as the Watts riots of the same year. It is also a tale of forgiveness -- Roseboro and Marichal became friends. When Marichal failed for four years to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Roseboro made a public appeal that Marichal not be excluded due to the beating incident. When Marichal was inducted into to the hall of fame, he thanked Roseboro in his acceptance speech. Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who presented Smith to the Board for recognition, called Smith “a true actor-intellectual who has drawn on his roots in our community to inspire audiences worldwide.” At the Board of Supervisors meeting, Smith evoked his Leimert Park childhood and called on the supervisors –who also sit on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board—to build a rail station in Leimert Park Village.
